Purpose Treatment for lung cancer is still far from satisfying rates. Therefore, there is a need for novel anticancer agents. For this purpose, novel platinum and palladium complexes {[Pd(sac)(terpy)](sac).4H(2)O (Complex 1), [Pt(sac)(terpy)] (sac).5H(2)O (Complex 2), [PdCl(terpy)](sac).2H(2)O (Complex 3), [PtCl(terpy)](sac).2H(2)O (Complex 4)} have been tested against three different non-small cell lung cancer cell lines (A549, H1299, PC-3).
